Community toolkits?

I saw an article about a cafe in New York where Singer had loaned them some sewing machines, which could be rented out by customers. The cafe holds workshops where you can mend teddies or learn embroidery. It led me to wonder if Bold Vision could have a collection of tools e.g. in a lock-up cupboard that opens up to become a work station. It could include a sewing machine, a computer with high quality printer, possibly even a 3D printer. I'm thinking of core basic kit for creativity, not lots of messy things that need restocking or tidying all the time. What do people think? What could it include?
